Appearance: In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red color with hints of purple or blue tones — visually promising power, while also delivering elegance.
Aroma: The nose reveals intense aromas of blackcurrant, blueberries, and black cherries; then follow floral notes of amber (lavender, violet), touches of smoke and graphite, a subtle mineral character, and a spiced hint (woodiness, dark chocolate).
Palate: The wine is medium to full-bodied, with excellent balance between fruit, acidity, and tannins. The fruit profile (blackcurrant, plum, blueberry) is enriched with a mineral note and a graphite/pear-like undertone; the tannins are pronounced yet fine, the texture is smooth and elegant.
Finish: The finish is long, clean, and thoughtful — the imprint of dark fruit remains, followed by wood and mineral notes, offering good cellar potential. The recommended time to enjoy it runs approximately from 2028 to 2045+.
